Gov. Perdue Signs Bills to Protect North Carolina Soldiers and their Families
Morrisville – Gov. Bev Perdue this week signed four bills that aid North Carolinians serving on active duty in the military and their families. She signed the bills Wednesday at the Morrisville base for the 130th Air Reconnaissance Battalion of the N.C. National Guard with National Guard troops and family members of fallen soldiers present.
“These steps hopefully will make the burden on military service members and their families easier, but this is not all we can do,” Perdue said. “We will continue to find ways to aid those sent overseas, and the families they leave behind.”
Senate Bill 1400 prevents a bank or mortgage company from foreclosing on the home of service members within nine months of active duty. Our soldiers and sailors who are facing a battlefield each day should not have to worry about fighting creditors at home.
House Bill 614 guarantees soldiers on active duty their most basic right in a democracy – to vote. The new law ensures that when active duty service members request an absentee ballot, they will get ballots for every election that year.
House Bill 76 assures that those who give their lives in military service are given the dignity of choosing how their remains will be put to rest. The same bill also adopts the Honor and Remember flag and the gold star flag into state law as a symbol to honor and recognize fallen members of the Armed Forces.
House Bill 412 makes sure that military court records are in synch with our state records.
